Bartering and loot

Fire charges are not a block drop. Their non-crafting sources are piglin bartering and selected Nether loot tables, so a player can obtain them without collecting the three crafting ingredients.

Data: Bartering and loot
Bartering source	Piglin
Loot source	Nether loot tables
Crafting alternative	Gunpowder + blaze powder + coal or charcoal

Usage

Using a fire charge on a valid face lights a new fire, or lights a campfire, candle, or candle cake. It consumes one charge on success. The item can also ignite TNT and creepers, which makes it useful when a redstone-free ignition is needed.

Data: Usage
Ignition	Fire, campfire, candle, candle cake
Consumption	1 charge per successful use
Projectile form	Small fireball
Creeper tag	#minecraft:creeper_igniters
Firework role	Large-ball firework star ingredient

Sounds

Successful ignition uses the fire-charge use sound. The same sound is used when the charge lights a block, a candle, or a campfire.

Behavior

When dispensed, a fire charge is launched as a small fireball. A dispenser can therefore start fires or attack at a distance without a player holding the item.
